Amongst testing the US manual only models they are also doing intensive compatibility testing with US fuels to prevent the cause of Turbo failure which was part to the cause of US Turbo problems.
Because the M5 does not arrive until nearer the end of Spring early summer in the US. There is time to make compatibility evaluations. |

Why would they need fuel testing when they use the same turbo setup on the XM's which have been out for a couple years now? Does not make much sense and do not think that is what they are doing IMO.

They are testing the manual (may be other markets as well from what I gathered) and M tests at Button Willow to evaluate the cooling system and the Carbon Ceramic brake kit. The N63, and S63 have had no issues in the US the N63 even with the Performance upgrade 7RR has been fine and nothing worth noting as far as reliability goes.
